Rosalin Acosta, the Secretary of Labor and Workforce Development for Massachusetts, is the state’s jobs guru. One of the projects she oversees is a range of program meant to attract a younger, more diverse workforce to Massachusetts. MGM Springfield is on track to meet most of the diversity goals set by the casino for hiring minorities, women, and veterans. Secretary Acosta joined Carrie Saldo in studio to discuss these programs and more.
